Performance Analysis of Proximity Coupled Microstrip Patch Antenna with DGS and EBG
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of Defected Ground Structure (DGS) in a Proximity Coupled Microstrip Patch Antenna (PCMA) and the effectiveness of using this structure in a PCMA with an Electromagnetic Bandgap Structure (EBG). The EBG structure used is a metallo-dielectric structure having a printed metallization with connected via ground plane. This manoeuvering of EBG enabled PCMA with a dumbbell shaped DGS results in a …

Compact Circularly Polarized Patch Antenna with U-Slot and Defected Ground
Abstract: A compact single-feed circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna at L-band is designed. The antenna contains a U-slot and is designed with DGS technique to reduce the size of antenna. With the presence of the U-slot, the antenna fabricated on a high-dielectric-constant (10.2) substrate achieves a reasonable axial-ratio bandwidth. The operating frequency is 1.521 GHz. The measured gain is 2.5 dBi, and bandwidth is 86.8 MHz.

RF Energy Harvesting from Wi-Fi Router in 2.45 GHz ISM Band
Abstract: In this paper, an experimental RF energy harvesting system using rectifying antenna (rectenna) to harvest ambient energy from Wi-Fi at 2.45 GHz is presented. The proposed circuit is a combination of RMPA, followed by a third order stepped impedance low-pass filter, matching network and rectifier using Schottky diode for microwave (RF) to DC conversion. The performance of the rectenna is simulated by electromagnetic simulator computer simulation technology (CST) microwave studio. …

Singularity Elimination in Current Distribution of a Dipole Antenna in Method of Moment (MOM)
Abstract: In this paper, the singularity subtraction technique for method of moments applying for a dipole antenna is explained. In the calculation of the current distribution waveform for the dipole antenna using method of moment from the Pocklingtons' Integral Equation has faced many logarithmic singularity terms. To avoid the singularities in this paper, we modify the Greens' function which is a major portion of the Pocklington's Integral Equation. The Pulse function …
